Helpers for Dundee United vs Celtic game

Posted on November 24, 2009 by Alan G

Help!

Can you support Palestine by helping us to leaflet the Celtic-Dundee United game in Dundee on Sunday 22 November from 11.30am–12.30pm? Meet promptly at corner of Tannadice St & North St Isla St. If you can, text or call 0795 800 2591 to confirm you can help.

Why?

Celtic are playing Israeli team Hapoel Tel Aviv in Glasgow on Wednesday, December 2nd. Kick off is 8.05. The Israeli Ambassador, Man of Blood Ron Prosor, will be there and the JNF and Zionist Federation are asking their supporters to attend to carry off the illusion that Israel, while bulldozing Palestinian homes on a daily basis, is a normal state.

SPSC has leafleted every home game for two months, receiving a great response from fans. The STUC will now be printing 10,000 Palestinian flags for distribution to fans on Dec 2nd for a visible demonstration of solidarity with Palestine inside the stadium on that night. To prepare for this, the STUC will also be asking trade unionists and others attending the annual STUC St Andrews Day anti-racism march to leaflet Celtic Park afterwards to build support for the demonstration. The main theme will be ‘End the Siege of Gaza’.

This game will be a megaphone into Israel & Palestine; the game is being broadcast live. You leafleting on Sunday will make a difference.

Sainsburys Dundee – Palestinian Olive Oil

Posted on October 17, 2009 by Alan G

A request from Equal Exchange to buy the Fairtrade Palestinian olive oil and keep the local branch of Sainbury’s stocking it.

Just a quick line. Our Equal Exchange brand Fairtrade certified olive oil from Palestine is in your local Dundee Sainsbury. Unfortunately sales are very poor… none sold in last 2 weeks! Any chance you could mobiles the local FT groups around town and shift some stock?

It is also a great organic product too. you will find details of the product (which is also an Ethical Consumer ‘best buy’) on our website.

If you have more questions or suggestions as to how to network into more fairtraders who will buy the product please email myself or Joanne.

Many thanks… in anticipation!
